The President and Mrs. Hoover have #0 successfully instituted and carried out their official program for the; ‘Winter that already three of the im- portant events have been removed from the calendar and this week the dinner fn honor of the Vice President will close the list of State functions for 1930 and New Year day will open the ealendar for the coming year. There u; delightful informality in State receptions st the White House this season, an informality which does not rob the traditional entertainments of their dignity, and praise is given Mrs. Hoover for {innovations not known in the| Mansion in many years * ox %% Mrs. Hoover entertained a luncheon party at the White House last week for Miss Elizabeth Hughes, daughter of the Chief Justice and Mrs. Hughes, whose marriage to Mr. William Thomas Gos- sett of New York will take place Priday in the home of her parents and on many occasions of less formal nature Mrs. Hoover and the public met. Quite the crowning event for the Pmslden(i and Mrs. Hoover outside the White| House was the dinner given for them | by the Vice President and Mrs. Gann Notwithstanding. Mrs. Hoover had made & trip to Norfolk to christen the Dollar liner, “President Hoover,” she was most animated during the evening, remaining for the film show which followed. RS This week the President and Mrs. Moover return the hospitality of the Vice President by giving a dinner in his honor, and then they will devote themselves to Christmas entertainment, chiefly to their three grandchildren. ‘These charming representatives of the third generation are comfortably en- sconced in the big sunny rooms at the east end of the top floor of the Man- sion, quarters familiar to both Peggy Ann and Herbert Hoover, 3d, who were guests of their grandparents at the time of the President’s inauguration. Joan ‘was born later. ks Among the interesting affairs ar- ranged for the Vice President this week 1s the dinner at the legation of China with the Minister and Mme. Wu as |and Senora de Arcaya have issued cards honors with the Vice President. Nor is there much spare time left on the| calendar of the Cabinet members this week. One of the very interesting things | in prospect is the dinner party when the | Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. Adams | will entertain for Admiral and Mrs. Willlam D. Leahy. % x Washington claims an interest and | color at Christmas times that but few other cities boast—a varied celebration of the season by many countries, each carrying out the traditions of its own lands, but almost all of them leading to the scene in the lowly manger of Bethle- hem. At the Mexican embassy Senora Tellez carries true to the traditions and lore of her country and the event is particularly interesting and impressive. This year the children of the family may miss their closest little friends, the children of Senator and Mrs. James J. Davis, who will not be relieved from quarantine for scarlet fever and chick- enpox for a week yet. £ awe The Amassador of Belguim and Princess de Ligne will be hosts at & tea tomorrow, and Wednesday the Min- ister of Switzerland and Mme.

The Minister of Venezuela for a pontifical mass to be celebrated at St. Matthews Church at 11 o'clock Wednesday in memory of Simon Boli- val, the liberator of their country. * k¥ His Majesty King Alexander the Pirst of Jugoslavia gives rise to an unusually interesting celebration at the legation on Sixteenth street when Wednesday afternoon, the Minister, Dr. Leonide Pitamic, will celebrate his birthday an- niversary with a reception, from 5 to 7 o'clock. As at all embassies and lega- tions where cards are issued for events, replies or acceptances are expected. ‘The Minister will be assisted by the members of his staff and the flag of Jugoslavia will fly over the legation. o It sound very like the old cry for help so frequently heard just after the close of the World War, when one is Russian exiles now in Sofia, Bulgaria, but the mention of the program ac- companying the real Russian dinner in the Russian Restaurant at 722 Thir- teenth street loses for it all touch of pathos. There will be music and danc- ing and artists will come from New York to assist. Serge Abagoff, the fa- mous dagger dancer; Asia Dalskay and Urel Istomin, Gipsy singers from Kousnetzou'’s Russian Opera, and the Little Russia Balalalka Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. D. Papchikhim, are all enlisted to entertain the diners. Mr Howard Moran ,of the American Security ‘& Trust Co. is treasurer of the committee in charge and is accept- ing reservations for the dinner.
